I just got back from Sams Club. There I purchased 288 bottles of water, 192 cans of soda and various other items such as yogurt, hot tamales and salsa. Why you ask? Our company is promoting a large scale concert. These are national level Christian bands – Audio Adrenaline, Toby Mac, Kutless and Hawk Nelson. The show is tomorrow and I’m in charge of the food. No, I’m not dumb enough to prepare it all myself, but I’ve arranged for the catering and bought all the snacks and beverages. Let me tell you! Catering is so stinking expensive. I think we’re definitely in the wrong business.

When I think that we spent all of three maybe four hundred dollars on food for our whole wedding, I cannot believe how much it is going to cost us to feed forty eight people lunch and dinner. It’s amazing all the “stuff” that they require. Certain brands of tea, specific kinds of soda and the really strange thing: One (just one) 16 ounce bottle of orange Gatorade. Please keep your fingers crossed that I can find a stinking 16 ounce bottle of Gatorade!!! I guess it could be worse, they could be asking for a bowl of M&M’s with all the green ones picked out… it could be worse.

I will be so glad when all this is over.

I lined the white clutch I made last week. I’m really happy with how it turned out.

I should have used white thread to sew the lining, but I was being lazy and didn’t want to change the bobbin.

Here’s the back

I threaded ribbon through the handles to keep them from stretching out too bad (my mom’s idea.) It seems to be working out great. I made this bag because I needed something that wasn’t green to go with my (few) non green clothes. I really wanted to use the green with white polka dot ribbon I found at Walmart, but that would have been defeating the purpose. I guess I’ll have to make another one. It’s really getting ridiculous how much I like green these days.

EDIT: Buy my cabled purse pattern here!

This week will be spent finishing up all of the leavened products in the house. It all has to be gone Friday night before Passover begins.

We’ve got two frozen pizzas, corn dogs, croissants, graham crackers, bagels, animal cookies, angel food cake, hamburger buns, bread, cereal, almost a whole case of pretzels (I’ll take those to the office)…I think there’s more, but that’s all I’ve found so far. I know, it looks like we’re going to be eating SO healthy! I just hate to throw all this stuff out, so we’re going to eat it!

I’m also starting to get excited for Passover and the following week of unleavened bread. We eat such yummy things around this time!
